I don't understand how no one caught this and had it fixed prior to it's media release?!

That's not the issue. The media members submit a ballot, just like voting for any other award. The league tells the PHWA that Ovechkin played RW this season so vote for him as a RW. Most writers vote for him as a RW, but enough go Simple Jack and vote for him as a LW. Nothing the league can do about it, they just publish the results.
